Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12799 · Eurocopter France Model EC120B Helicopters
Eurocopter France Model EC120B Helicopters
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2015-26-04. Comply with the one in force.
Model EC120B helicopters, serial numbers 1001 through 1278, inclusive, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for specified Eurocopter France (ECF) model helicopters that requires installing front and side covers to protect the yaw control. This amendment is prompted by a report of a mobile phone falling between the windshield canopy (canopy) and the cabin floor jamming the yaw control pedal. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent an object from sliding between the canopy and the cabin floor, loss of yaw control, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
